Urinary hepcidin, inflammation, and iron metabolism were examined during the 24 hr after
exercise. Eight moderately trained athletes (6 men, 2 women) completed a 60-min running …

Purpose: To investigate the effects of acute exercise on serum hepcidin and iron (sFe) in
active women. Changes in interleukin-6 (IL-6), hepcidin, ferritin, and sFe in response to 2 …

Purpose The extent to which hepcidin regulation after acute bouts of exercise is influenced
by baseline (resting) concentrations of key iron parameters remains uncertain. This …

Background: Prevalence of iron deficiency is commonly reported among athletic population
groups. It impairs physical performance due to insufficient oxygen delivery to target organs …

Hepcidin, a peptide hormone with an acknowledged evolutionary function in iron
homeostasis, was discovered at the turn of the 21st century. Since then, the implications of …

Iron deficiency is a frequent and multifactorial disorder in the career of athletes, particularly
in females. Exercise-induced disturbances in iron homeostasis produce deleterious effects …

Background Declines in iron status are frequently reported in those who regularly engage in
strenuous physical activity. A possible reason is increases in the iron regulatory hormone …

This study explored the relationship between serum ferritin and hepcidin in athletes.
Baseline serum ferritin levels of 54 athletes from the control trial of five investigations …

The aim of our study was twofold, firstly to examine the relationship between plasma
concentrations of IL-6, hepcidin and iron following prolonged exercise and secondly, to …

Background Hepcidin, a peptide that is released into the blood in response to inflammation,
prevents cellular iron export and results in declines in iron status. Elevated serum and …
